Guide Rail; Optional Accessory - Makita DHS900 Betriebsanleitung

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool.
If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by
the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece
to be cut without the circular saw blade making any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular
saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the
tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the circular saw
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious
injury. Release switch, wait for circular saw blade to stop and
then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut
again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to
chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protec-
tion to help avoid injury.
NOTE: When making a miter cuts etc., sometimes
the lower guard does not move easily. At that time,
use the retracting lever to raise the lower guard for
starting cut and as soon as blade enters the material,
release the retracting lever.

Sub base (Guide rule)
CAUTION:
Make sure that the sub base (guide
rule) is securely installed in the correct position
before use. Improper attachment may cause danger-
ous kickback.
By using the sub base as a guide rule, you can perform
extra-accurate straight cuts. Loosen the clamping
screws and slide the sub base out from the tool then
insert it upside down.
► Fig.31: 1. Clamping screw 2. Sub base
Simply slide the fence of the sub base snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with
the clamping screws. It also makes repeated cuts of
uniform width possible.

Guide rail

Optional accessory

NOTICE:
Remove the sub base when using the
guide rail.
Place the tool on the rear end of guide rail. Turn two
adjusting screws on the tool base so that the tool slides
smoothly without a clatter. Hold both the front grip and
rear handle of the tool firmly. Turn on the tool and cut
the splinter-guard along the full length with a stroke.
Now the edge of the splinter-guard corresponds to the
cutting edge.

When bevel cutting with the guide rail, use the slide
lever to prevent the tool from falling over.
Move the slide lever on the tool base in the direction
of arrow so that it engages the undercut groove in the
guide rail.

Lanyard (tether strap) connection
Safety warnings specific for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
serious injury.
1. Always keep the tool tethered when working
"at height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m
(6.5 ft).
The maximum permissible fall height for lan-
yard (tether strap) must not exceed 2 m (6.5 ft).
2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 6.0 kg (13.2 lbs).
3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5. Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7. Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
8. Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools
will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury
or loss of balance.
9. Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
11. Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
12. Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that
keeps guards, switches or lock-offs from oper-
ating properly.
13. Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.
14. Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the
tool.
15. Use multi-action and screw gate type cara-
bineers. Do not use single action spring clip
carabineers.
16. In the event the tool is dropped, it must be
tagged and removed from service, and should
be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized
Service Center.
